From the author of such children’s classics as The Secret Garden and A Little Princess comes this enchanting story of a young boy discovering his true destiny. Twelve-year-old Marco has spent his life traveling with his father in secrecy, forbidden to speak about their country of origin, Samavia, which has been fraught with war ever since the prince mysteriously disappeared 500 years ago. But now, there is hope that peace may come at last, as it has been rumored that a descendant of the lost prince may have been found.
